"Blood Spirit I"

Williams Street

Artists:

Phaseone, a.k.a. Brooklyn-via-St. Louis beatmaker Andrew Jernigan, seems to be turning away from the skilled sampling that's marked his material over the past few years, instead heading back in the direction of 2009's Thanks But No Thanks. After releasing the vocal-smeared "It's Not Forever" earlier this month, Jernigan eschews vocals entirely for his latest single, "Blood Spirit I", the first track off the forthcoming If I Tell U. The track's low-slung gait resembles a Lex Luger production, and it drips with hazy keyboards that have become a hallmark of dream pop.
